Mamiya RB67 Won't Fire

[christopher_osullivan]

<p>Hi all,<br>

I just received a Mamiya RB67 ProS in the mail. It looks and works great. I'm beyond excited to own this camera. The only problem is the shutter won't fire when the film back is on. I know about the dark slide trick, so it's not that.<br>

What I've concluded is that the nipple on the camera that protrudes to the film back is being blocked by a small, black metal tab.<br>

Anyone know how to stop this from happening? I can describe better if needed.<br>

Thank you all very much!<br>

<p>You know the shutter won't release until a roll of film is loaded and has been advanced? To overcome that and fire the shutter without film, set the multi-exposure lever (by the hub of the advance lever on the back). Hope that helps.<br>

You can get the manual for the Pro S from Mamiya leaf:<br>

<p>Wow, thank you! I watched several videos, all of which neglected to mention that. It helps tremendously. </p>
